For some time it has become clear that traditional methods of solving site disputes are breaking down and recourse to the courts is becoming standard practice. 1991 was the year that ADR - Alternative Disputes Resolution - was brought to the attention of the construction industry in an attempt to reduce the amount of litigation and arbitration that bedevils it. This book brings together over 40 expert papers presented at the 1992 International Construction Conflict Management & Resolution Conference held in Manchester, UK. Six themes are covered: alternative dispute resolution; conflict management; claims procedures; litigation and arbitration; international construction; education and the future. With papers from arbitrators, architects, barristers, civil engineers, chartered surveyors and solicitors this book represents the first multi-disciplinary body of knowledge on Construction Conflict and will act as a unique source of reference for both legal and construction professionals.
